Zac
is my newest addition to the family, he's a tri-colored part Abyssinian
part smooth guinea pig. He is four months and two weeks old and lives in West
Yorkshire. As he is part Abyssinian, he has four rosettes on his body, two on
each side at the back and two on each side just behind his head. The two by
his head make his hair stand up and gives him a sort of quiff! He is very
obedient and will usually follow his fellow cage mates around just to be
involved! Being the newest one in the family, he just can't wait to make friends!

Zac is very affectionate and has a great lads relationship with my eldest
boar. He is very vocal, which usually means he gets what he wants, and will
always let us know if he wants attention. Whenever we give attention to
another guinea-pig, he is always there wanting to be involved. He is very
active and will always run around the cage when he wants to play. His
favorite type of toys are ones he can chew, and loves the carrot patch toy
where he pulls out the Hessian carrots just for me to put them back in
again! Being the newest addition he always likes to please the others, and
when I put in fresh vegetables, he will wait his turn before digging in.
He's great at reaching up to get treats that are on top of tunnels or that
I'm holding up, his favorite food is parsley and he will use the cage edge
and other toys to get to it!
